Although such species certainly indicate nonmetal-based redox chemistry, direct involvement of molybdenum ligands is not indicated.

The enzyme was reduced with 10 mM sodium dithionite solution in the presence of 40 μM methyl viologen for 4 min. Dithionite was chosen in preference to formate as reductant because the latter gives rise to a mixture of oxidation states (analysis of EXAFS of mixtures can be problematic). Data were collected at a sample temperature of 10 K and 16 35-min sweeps were averaged for each sample.

14. We note that EXAFS cannot readily distinguish between backscatterers of similar atomic number. For example, although Se-C and Se-S EXAFS are trivial to tell apart, Se-S and Se-Cl EXAFS are not. It is therefore possible that the selenosulfide sulfur observed in the Se EXAFS is in fact a chloride. We consider this possibility unlikely, as the samples were prepared in chloride-free buffer.

16. We note that in this case the selenosulfide was retained in the dithionite-treated enzyme, although conditions of reduction differed in that no methyl viologen was added.
